Recently we have been having issues with the VVX400 negotiating a link on a POE switch. When pulled out of the box and plugged into a POE switch the VVX400 will not negotiate a link unless I manually configure the port on the switch/phone to locked 100 full. I have attached picture showing the software version currently loaded on a working phone and a non-working phone. If blank the versions are the same. This is a serious issue affecting multible customers and no-one from Polycom, the switch manufacturer or PBX provider has any information. Has anyone seen this or heard of this problem before?

To add to this we can replace the phone with a VVX410 and the link auto-negotiates as normal. Againg this is happening out of the box with the switch and the phone so no config are built.

I do not have a case number. I called inot support and spoke with someone directly. He explained the the problem had to be with the switch manufacturer but this has happened on Extreme and Cisco POE 10/100/1000 switches.

Hello pbettinger,

we really need to track this internally and therefore a case must be raised. 

 

Please follow this up and provide all details as manufacturing details of some sample units and your switch configuration used.

 

You may be advised to setup certain logging levels and try to replicate this to fail and then work so the phone can upload its logs.

I have attached an image regarding the VVX400 firmware of a working and non-working phone in the original post. Like I said there is no config as these are pulled directly out of the box new. As far as the switches we use Extreme Summti x430 and 440 POE switches. We have been implementing this setup for a year and only recently have been discovering the problem. The switch config and software has not changed as this requires a manual update. Please let me know if you can create a case or if I need to go through the support chain to create a case.

Hello pbettinger,

I cannot open a case for you and you will need to raise this most likely via your Polycom reseller.

 

We require the switch configuration in order to then attempt to replicate this in our lab once all details have been collected.

 

Are all of the Ethernet cables you are using 8 wires aka fully 4 pairs ?

Yes all cables are standard cat-6, cat-5 4 pair. I have the config along with any info needed. Please let me know if I can send that directly to you. Being a public portal I do not want to upload here.
